A Check for $500.

The Trowbridge Sons gave the Rev, A. 2.
Miller, pastor of the Dixwsn avenue Congre-
gational church, their check for $500 in def
erence to the wishes of their father, the late
Thomas R. Trowbridge, Esq, who was
chairman of the committee on building in
the interest of Congregational churches of the
city and before his death gave $3.50 toward
pushing the enterprise along. Mr.. Trow-
bridge never saw the church completed,
though his sons have and express themselves
as much gratifed with the work and their
fathers investment.
The negro race in Mr.. Jrowbridge's demise
lost tried and lifelong friend, one whose
friendship was eminently practical.

sALIsBURY's FIRST DEFEAT.

Witch VIII Probably Lead to Secre-
tary Matthew'S Retirement.
LONDON, July Sin the House of Com
mons tonight Mr.. Campbell Bannerman,
formerly chief secretary for ireland, gave no.
tice that he would introduce on the second
reading of the Irish land bill motion that
no land measure would be satisfactory which
lacked such revision of the judicial rents as
would meet the results of the fall in prices.
After animated discussion over the con-
duct of the police in arresting a respectable
young woman an improper character the
government was defeated by a vote of 1853 to
148. The criticisms of members were direct
ed less against the police authorities than
against Mr.. Matthews, the home secretary,
who was accused of shielding the officials.
A number of Unionists voted with the ma
jority. It is expected that the defeat of the
government will lead to the resignation of
Mr. Matthews.
After the division the ministers met in
private room and it was rumored Mr.. Mat
thews would resigned. Messrs. Reed, Jamess
Howard, Johnston and Taylor, Conserva-
tives, supported the motion. Twenty sup
portess of the government did not vote be-
cause they understood that the question be-
fore the House was the defense of Magistrate
Newton's conduct. of which they disap-
proved.

Head and Kills Him.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 5.-The mystery
attending the death of Patrick Joyce, report
ed last evening, is cleared away by to-day's
work of the police and the affair is ow
proved to have been a murder and Joyee's
-year-old stepson, Michael Fl. Burke,

for shopbreaking and bears an evil reputa-
ton. Young Burke said he had been en-
ployed by his stepfather upon odd jobs and
on Monday morning he asked for a dollar
with which to celebrate the day, as partial
payment. Joyce rendered quarter, which
was refused with abusive language High
words passed and the old man seized a stick
and flung it at thsslad. The boy had with him
an old-fashioned muzzle-loading pistol and
he threw it at him with fatal aim striking
the old man in the head and fracturing the
skull. The boys mother, Mrs. Joyce, is also
held as witness.

CORNELL WINS THE RACE

After a Desperate struggle I'm which
RoWdo1n Forced Her to Her Best.
WORCESTER, Mass, July 5.-Cornel won
the mile and a half straightaway race for
four cared crews of the Intercollegiate Row.
ing association at Lake Quinsigamond this
afternoon. The race was very hotly contest
ed, neither crew having at any time an adj
vantage of more than half the length of its
boat. There never was clear water between
them and for a mile the shells were bow
and bow. Bowdoin and Cornell were the
only starters. AT 401 the word was given.
Cornell was off at the word 'sready'' and
sped away at thirty-nine strokes. Bowdoin
followed instantly at forty-one strokes The
New Workers thus gained an adv antage
more than equal to the two
feet of space by which they
won, but nobody protested and
the crews were not called back At the
end of a quarter of mile each crew rowed
slower stroke, Bowdoin thirty-eight
and Cornell thirty-fve. The down casters
then spurted and gained slight advantage,
but in another quarter of mile they lost it.
Half mile from the finish Cornell sDurted
to thirty seven strokes, while Bowdoin con-
tinued at thirty eight till within three hun
area IeeG OF the hnlSh when their crew
struck out with forty Both boats crossed
the line SO near together that nobody on the
referees boat could tell which won. The
judges on shore said that Cornell won by two
feet. The official time was m. 80 8.
Probably this is six or seven seconds too fast.
The water was very rough and
both boats shipped considerable water. Field
er and Peck of Cornell were considerably
used up and Varney, the Bowdoin stroke,
laid down in his boat after the race They
were not seriously affected, however. Cor
nell thus wins the Intercollegiate champion
ship and silver cup offered by private par
ties.
In the evening the oarsmen were entertain
ed by the Quinsigamond Boat club. Both
crews start for home tomorrow. Teemer
and Hamm coached Cornell and Fred Plaist-
ed trained Bowdoin. The regatta officials
were: Referee, Eugene Buckley, of Boston;
judges for Bowdoin, A. H. Brown and E. U.
Curtis; judges for Cornell, Charles Francis
and G. Psotta; time-keeper, w. H. O'Neil.
